Sam has been my trainer for two months plus and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He took into consideration that I hadn’t been in the gym in almost one year and started training me at the level that I was at, which made showing up to each session so much easier and something I look forward to. He helped me with my nutrition, how to organize my macros and calories to fit the goal that I want. He also gives tips on how best to recover from working out. I’m so glad I decided to go with my guts and choose Sam and I would 100% recommend him to anyone.
PS: here’s an image showing my before (right image) and after (left image) from just one month of working out, following Sam’s nutrition, recovery and cardio advices…. My friends and family were the first to notice my progress and they are so thankful for Sam’s help as my trainer.

It's been a great experience. I couldn't be happier with work put in and my progress. My trainer has been excellent as well.

As a trainer, Sam is very knowledgeable about fitness and the body. He has a vast knowledge of how the body functions and knows how to train for any physical goal. He can tell by looking at how you’re walking,what some of your physical issues are and how to correct them. While working out, with every exercise, he explains why you’re doing it, what parts of the body you’re strengthening, how to properly do the move, and how this will impact your life moving forward. He is very strategic with his personalized fitness plans. Sam is also big on holding his clients accountable. “You can’t see results without consistency and accountability!”

I'm getting great results thru (what I consider) his challenging exercises. He will make the programs to fit what I want to accomplish: body fat loss, strength, endurance, stability, balance, coordination, whatever I want.
